When it comes to Bollywood’s most talked-about couples, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan have always been a hot topic. But lately, it seems like their marriage is under the microscope once again. The so-called perfect couple is reportedly facing a storm—one that no one saw brewing behind those glossy smiles and red carpet appearances.
It all started in July this year, when Aishwarya and Abhishek showed up to the star-studded wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. The shocking twist? They arrived separately. What’s that all about? A little too convenient, don’t you think? This public appearance sparked a firestorm of rumours, with tongues wagging about a possible rift in the marriage. Fans were quick to point out that Aishwarya and Abhishek hadn’t been seen together in a while, and their separate entrances fuelled speculation that something was amiss in their relationship.

But hold your horses! Neither Ash nor Abhi have come forward to address the rumours, keeping their lips sealed. Silence, however, is only making the gossip mill churn even faster. Was it a mere coincidence, or is this the calm before the storm?
Just when things were getting hotter than a Bollywood item number, enter Simi Garewal—the auntie of the entertainment world who just had to make an appearance! In a bold move, Simi defended Abhishek Bachchan, putting the media on blast for its constant “unfair treatment” of the actor. In a statement that could almost be considered a public mic drop, she emphasised that Abhishek was a man of “integrity” who didn’t deserve the constant media scrutiny.
“I’ve known the Bachchans for years, and let me tell you, Abhishek is a man of dignity. He does not deserve all this gossip,” she said. The former talk show host basically said what everyone else was thinking: Leave the guy alone!

But while Simi’s defence might have been a relief to Abhishek, it hasn’t exactly quieted the rumours about his marriage with Aishwarya. And you know what they say—Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
Back to the present. Is there another mystery woman involved?
Word has it that Abhishek Bachchan has been spotted in some questionable situations that suggest he might be more than just “close” friends with a certain actress. Some whispers from insiders claim that Abhishek has been getting a little too cosy with a rising Bollywood starlet. Is the marriage really over? Fans are anxiously waiting for any signs of confirmation, but the Bachchans have remained tight-lipped.

As for Aishwarya, she’s no stranger to headlines either. The actress, who has always been fiercely private, has had her own fair share of rumours surrounding her—especially when it comes to her ex-flame Salman Khan and the not-so-friendly vibes with some of the industry’s biggest names. Could Aishwarya have finally reached her breaking point, or is she just silently waiting for the storm to pass?
It’s clear that something’s not right in the Bachchan paradise. Whether it’s a temporary phase or the beginning of a more permanent divide remains to be seen. But the signs are all there—the silence, the separate appearances, the whispers of betrayal.
Whatever happens, we’ll be watching. And so will everyone else. After all, in the world of Bollywood, the only thing more exciting than a wedding is a divorce. Stay tuned, because this drama is just getting started.
Who knows, maybe the Bachchans will surprise us all and make a dramatic return to the spotlight—together, hand in hand. Or maybe not.
